Remote "probe health" sensor - duplicatation of sensors

Votes:

0

Hi all,

I would like to know how to set(the best way) remote probes. My WAN have got 150+ remotes probes(locations), stores.

Every probe is running on server on that site. There are two sensors (Probe health and system health) that include sensors I would like to have seperated (free space, memory, etc.) Now, if something goes "down" I've got 2 or 3 sensors downed. Unnecessary. How exactly Probe health and system health work? free space, etc. sensors are under their percentage status of "OK" and it is not good looking for my colleagues who would like to have straight informations about something get wrong.

For deploy: it is prefer to have seperated sensors, to much work to set probes manually. They can't be copied like sensors.

Thank you Libor

Hi there,

the Probe Health and System Health Sensor are special hard-coded Sensors which cannot be replicated for other non Probe Device devices.
If you want to have such Sensor, you can use the Sensor Factory Sensor to combine multiple Sensors. However, since this Sensor has a very strong performance impact, we recommend only 50 of these Sensors.
